lisher-sl 50 year, our esteemed friend
Miss Ida VI. Tarbell, who Is on the editorial
staff on the magazine named, gives the re
suit of much laborious research on the
subject of Women as Inventors" She
contradicts the statement that invention is
a field into which women have seldom ven
tured. and with an official record as
authority she says: ''One of the hand
soonest models of the Patent Office is sub
marine telescope patented in ls45 BY Sarah
Mather." Some good results are shown in
mechanical devices. Conspicuous among
the number are machine for driving bar
rel hoops. steam generator. haling
press, a steam and fume box, an automatic
floor for elevator-shaftS. rail for
street railways, an electric Illuminating ap-
paratus, a railway car safety apparatus,
packing for piston rods, ear coupling. elec-
trio battery. locomotive wheels. materials
for packing journals and bearings. machine
for drilling gun stocks. stock car, ali ap-
paratus for destroying vegetation on rail

THE xrW CORPORA TON COUNSEL.

Mayor Hewitt has finally selected Morgan
J. O'Brien to succeed Judge Lacombe as Coun-
sci to tho Corporation. 1t cannot be trrthfuliy
said that this is an ideal appointment, but the
Mayors choice is so much better than it might
have been, so much better. indeed. than there
was at one time reason to fear it would be.
that on the whole the city is to be congrat-
ulated. If strict adherence to tho highest
ideal would have resulted in the appointment
of Mr.. Dean, it can nevertheless be said that
the Mayors concession to Tammany Hall docs
not seriously threaten the city's interests.
Mr.. O'Brien is a patient industrious, trust
worthy lawyer, and will doubtless prove to be
a cautious and conservative adviser in munich
pal affairs. 1t is understood that he assumes
the position of Corporation Counsel with the
distinct understanding that the organization
and traditions of the Office shall be MAIN
tanned. The city will retain the valuable SER
vices Of the old assistants to the Counsel upon
whom Mr.. Lacombe has relied. and there is
good reason 10 hope that politics will be
rcsolutcly kept out of the department

the strength of the order could be put so use

TIE EXPOSITION OF 1850.

Germany has positively declined to participate
in the French Exposition Of 1889, Austro-iungary
has followed her example, and there Is good rea-
son to believe that Russia will do the same That
this seriously darlSens the prospects OF the enter
prise none but the most sangune Parisans VIII
deny II deprives so-called universal exposition
Of any representation Of three of the greatest Euro
pean nations and, which is al least equally de-
plorable, 1t also dcprves the railroads. hotels and
shops Of France OF the patronage and money Of q
multitude Of visitors from over the Rhine More
over the British Government has declined officially
10 recognize the Exposition. and so far as
private enterprise goes. neither England
nor Italy shows more than half
hearted interest in the project. and Spain
and Sweden have not much to contribute. So that
for success France will be dependent almost en-
tirely upon herself, the United States and Brazil;
and how Dom Pedro will regard the Government
that has lately expelled his Bourbon kinsmen yet
remains to be seen.
Tho reasons for the hostile attitude of Germany
and Austria not secret. The exposition is to
be n centennial commcmoration Of the French
Revolution. II will not only celebrate the unset.
Ting Of all Continental thrones and the sweeping
away of the "divine right OF kings but It viii
be regarded as a grand jubilee by all enemies Of
monarchy. from the moderate republican to the
maddest anarchist. In BRIEF 1t will present
sort Of apotheosis Of all those principles and sys
tens to which Prince Bismarck is most resolutely
opposed and against which no has most Stub
bonly had to do battle. Austria. too. has this
same objection and in addition this which with
such nation has great weight that the Revolu-
ton sent to the embrace Of st Guiotnc queen
VI Ilabsburg bLoj Bismarck viii not celebrate
the brth of Socialism. Francis Joseph rejoice
over the death OF Marie Antoinette. That the
Russian Autocrat Will care to coustcnance the
festival Of Democracy Is not to be expected.
OF course France has tried ~ argue these
points away. and with ingenuity. M. Loclsroy,
the author of the Exposition srhcmc. boldly de
MED that II was intended to celebrate the anni-
vcrsaIy of the Revolution. True. the Revolution
began in 1889, and the Exposition was to occur
in 1889. But that was merely coincidence
